Remote Handling | Telemanipulator Radiation Shielding

Shielding can be provided for all CRL manipulators to prevent large amounts of radiation from penetrating to the
operator side of the cell. The shielding is mounted in and/or around the telemanipulator thru tube and is normally
located so it is centered in the cell wall. A variety of shielding materials are available with lead, poly and steel
typically used. The internal thru-tube shielding and external thru-tube to wall tube shielding configurations can
be provided as shown below:

Thru-Tube Shielding Standard Design:
• Straight tie rods pass thru aligned slots in internal shielding pieces.
